    Podcast No.14 - Geoff Diego Litherland - Woven / Ground

    Haarlem Artspace podcast no.14 is an interview between film maker Gavin Repton and Geoff Diego Litherland, and delves deeper into the ideas, motivations and obstacles in realising the work. The podcast features various tracks of music from Woven / Ground Litherland’s new album. Since 2016 Geoff has been redefining his artistic practice; discontent with simply depicting an idea of nature and landscape within his work, he sought to delve deeper into the interconnected threads between painting and the environment. His particular interest lay in using slow, pre-industrial craft processes to create natural canvas materials grown from the earth. This led to a collaboration with his partner, weave designer Angharad McLaren, where they sowed, nurtured and harvested a crop of flax plants. The resulting flax fibre was then processed into hand-spun linen yarn to be hand woven into a patterned linen canvas, primed and painted on by the artist. Weaving and painting became investigative tools to explore the value of labour, locality, materials and their relationships to concepts, both historical and contemporary of inter-connectivity between nature and us. Context and meaning are woven and painted within the surface. For more info about the music: https://www.geoffdiegolitherland.com/woven-ground

  2. Podcast No.13 - Chris Brooks - The Brooks Press of Wirksworth

    Podcast No.13 - Chris Brooks - The Brooks Press of Wirksworth

    An interview with Photographer Chris Brooks about his recent exhibition at Haarlem Artspace. For almost ten years Brooks has been returning to his childhood home in Derbyshire to photograph the land and research the story of his family’s printing press, a business which he knew very little about due to the death of his father when he was a teenager. The Brooks Press of Wirksworth, an imprint founded in 1898 published a wide range of material from travel guides and poetry to books on self-improvement. It finally closed its doors in the early 1970s, having passed from father to son for three generations, winding up just before Brooks was born. By employing a mixture of exquisitely composed, atmospheric, large format colour portraits and landscapes combined with archival fragments and pages of letterpress, Chris Brooks examines concepts around ‘home’ and the complicated nature of belonging. By doing so, he draws our attention to the constantly changing meaning of what it is to be ‘in’ and ‘of’ a place. The Brooks Press of Wirksworth is thus a timely meditation on changing notions of nationhood, identity and the power of place. https://thebrookspress.com/home The podcast includes field recordings by Zach Holt and James Warring and music by South-Facer https://south-facer.com/ https://south-facer.bandcamp.com/
